This summer we are launching immersive learning experiences for middle and high school students with computer science at the core and modeled on the huge success of the SPARK! Hackathon. Please note that your child must apply and we will be accepting applications on a rolling basis based on interest and availability of program. No experience is required for SPARK! Summer and we encourage students with a wide variety of backgrounds, interests and experiences to apply. This summer we are offering 3 SPARK! Summer Programs:

July 30 - August 3 - SPARK! Exploration for rising 5th through 8th graders. During the Exploration program, students will learn and hone computer science skills as they work toward creating solutions to real-world problems through a mini-hackathon experience.Early Bird Registration Before May 1: $175 | After May 1: $200

July 2 - July 13 - SPARK! Launchpad for rising 9th through 12th graders. During the Launchpad program, students will experience skill-based learning, design challenges, field trips to local tech companies and guest speakers, all geared to help them prepare for next steps in the student-driven learning eco-system of Cville (SPARK! Hackathon, Tom Tom Youth Summit, ReinventeED and i.Lab participation) and beyond.Early Bird Registration Before May 1: $350 | After May 1: $400
